Tina could face jail for allegedly sharing the pictures of Venables, who was recently jailed for child porn offences.

She told the Star on Sunday: “Here I am posting a picture of a self-confessed paedo child-killer who has built a manual on how to rape a baby, yet I’m the one being threatened and vilified and possibly going to prison.’'

Tina, who played ''Mimi'' in Channel 4 drama Shameless, said that she did not blame the police for ‘only doing their job’ but added that two million other people shared the photos too.
